On the Fast Track with the
BuildABizOnline
AdTracker
Setting Up Your AdTracking URL's to Track Your Clicks
(After reading, just close this browser window to return to Training Manual Contents)

(Beginning note:  This tutorial assumes that you have joined ALL of the available CHIP traffic  generating programs.  If you have NOT yet joined all the CHIP programs, it will NOT affect  your use of this Tutorial in setting up your all-important tracking URL's;  later in the instructions, simply substitute the CHIP programs that you HAVE joined for those given in the Tutorial.

Also, even if you have NOT joined ALL of the CHIP programs YET, we STILL recommend that you use this tutorial to configure ALL of the adtrackers;  it will give you great practice in understanding adtrackers in general and BuildABizOnline in particular, and eventually.....

.....you probably WILL be joining all of the CHIP programs as you gain experience!

Step 1:

Go to the BuildABizOnline site at:

https://buildabizonline.com

Step 2:

In the horizontal menu running along the top of the front page, click the white hotlink labeled "MEMBERS LOGIN"

On the "Hi, and Welcome Back to BuildABizOnline" page, enter your username and password, and click the rectangular gray button labeled "Log In"

What's called a "full-page login ad" may be displayed.  This is a paid ad from another BuildABizOnline member.  You must stay on this ad for 15 seconds, after which you can click on the "Click Here To Go To Your Members Area" hotlink at the top of the page.

You will be on the "Welcome to Your BuildABizOnline Member's Area" page.

Near the top of the Member's Area page is a horizontal menu consisting of eight white hotlinks.  Click the sixth white hotlink from the left, labeled "Pro Member Tools"

(Note:  If you've followed our instructions you WILL be a paid, upgraded Pro Member, and NOT a Free Member!)

On the drop-down menu that appears, simply click the only hotlink you observe, labeled "Pro Member Tools" 

Step 3:

Now, you'll recall that BuildABizOnline is the most comprehensive "toolbox" of marketing tools on the Internet, so the page that is displayed shows a LOT of tools.  (Don't get confused!  Take your time!)

Scroll down until you see the MAIN heading "ADDITIONAL BUILDABIZONLINE TOOLS"

Step 4:

In the fifth square box from the left, labeled "Cloak, Track, Shorten URL's," click the rectangular dark blue "Click Here" button.

On the next page that is displayed, scroll down to the "Enter A URL To Track" area.

STEP 4a:  In the "Campaign Name" block.....

.,,,,enter the website URL of the first advertising program whose results you wish to track.  For example, assuming you are using "ProActiveMailer" to send an ad, you would enter proactivemailer.com in the blank box to the right, in lower case letters, and WITHOUT the "https://" like so:

proactivemailer.com

STEP 4b:  In the "Website URL" block.....

.....you would enter the complete affiliate URL of the website you wish to promote.  For example, if you are promoting the Big Dogs program, in the block to the right, enter YOUR ClickBank hoplink (in lower case letters):

https://hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=yournickname&vendor=bigdogs

From now on (assuming you are promoting the Big Dogs program) you will ALWAYS copy and paste the SAME URL - your Big Dogs ClickBank hoplink - into the "Website URL" block.

STEP 4c:  In the "Choose Tracker URL Domain" block.....

.....using the drop-down menu, select "trackit.link"

STEP 4d:  In the "Cloak URL?" area.....

.....make sure to check the "NO" button.
(It is important to check the 'NO' button!)

STEP 4e:  In the "Branding Bar Location" area.....

.....make sure that the "Hidden" button is chosen.
(It is important to make sure that the 'Hidden' button IS checked!)

(Your "Enter A URL To Track" area should now look like the example below.....

.....except, of course, it is YOUR ClickBank hoplink (with YOUR
unique ClickBank nickname) in the "Website URL" block!!!

STEP 4f:  Finally, click the rectangular gray button labeled "Add URL"

You have just added ProActiveMailer to your campaigns, and you will be redirected to a verification page, similar to the one below:

(Notice that the "New URL" is less than HALF the length of your ClickBank hoplink!  Also note that ALL trackit.link adtracking links will be identical in general format, the only difference being the four to six characters at the end of the URL.)

STEP 4g:  Click the "Click Here to Add New Cloaking URL" hotlink text to return to the "Enter A URL to Track" page to set up more adtracking URL's.

Step 5:

But before we begin adding additional CHIP programs, take a look at your "Enter A URL to Track" page.

In the row of data that is now displayed near the top of the page you will see the "Campaign Name" name as "proactivemailer.com."  To the right of the Campaign Name are TWO URL's:

The top one is the "Website URL" - the website you are promoting and the one to which you will be sending traffic.  Assuming you are promoting Big Dogs this URL would, of course be YOUR ClickBank hoplink.  From now on this "Website URL" will ALWAYS be the same:  it will ALWAYS be your ClickBank hoplink! (Or any other program you wish to promote)

Directly below the Website URL is the all-important "Tracking Link"  This "Tracking Link" is what you will actually be copying and pasting into the ProActiveMailer when you use it.

Every "Tracking Link" is different (since you will have several different CHIP programs to track), but in the same general form.....

https://trackit.link/mo59

.....the only difference being the four to six character code at the end.

NOW... let's setup the "Tracking Link" for a second CHIP program:

Step 6:

STEP 6a:  In the "Campaign Name" block.....

.....enter the website URL of the second advertising program you wish to track.  For example, assuming you are using "Mailsy" to send an ad, you would enter mailsy.net in the blank box to the right, in lower case letters, and WITHOUT the "http://" like so:

mailsy.net

STEP 6b:  In the "Website URL" block.....

.....you would enter the complete URL of the website you wish to promote.  For example, if you are promoting the Big Dogs program, in the block to the right, enter YOUR ClickBank hoplink (in lower case letters):

https://hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=yournickname&vendor=bigdogs

From now on (assuming you are promoting the Big Dogs program) you will ALWAYS copy and paste your Big Dogs ClickBank hoplink into the
"Website URL" block.

STEP 6c:  In the "Choose Tracker URL Domain" block.....

.....using the drop-down menu, select "trackit.link"

STEP 6d:  In the "Cloak URL?" area.....

.....make sure to check the "NO" button.(It is important to check the 'NO' button!)

STEP 6e:  In the "Branding Bar Location" area.....

.....make sure that the "Hidden" button is chosen
(It is important to make sure that the 'Hidden' button IS checked!)

(Your "Enter A URL To Track" area should now look like the following:  Except, of course, it is YOUR ClickBank hoplink in the "Website URL" block.  Also, the "Campaign Name" is Mailsy.net and NOT proactivemailer.com)

STEP 6f:  Finally, click the rectangular gray button labeled "Add URL"

You have just added Mailsy to your campaigns, and you will be redirected to a verification page, similar to the one below:  (Note that the characters at the end of the tracking link are now different, while everything else remains unchanged)

STEP 6g:  Click the "Click Here to Add New Cloaking URL" hotlink text to return to the "Enter A URL to Track" page to enter the rest of the CHIP programs.

STEP 6:

But before we begin adding additional CHIP programs, take a look at your "Enter A URL to Track" page.

There are now TWO ROWS of data that now displayed near the top of the page you will see the "Campaign Names" as "proactivemailer.com" AND "mailsy.net" To the right of each of the Campaign Names are TWO URL's:

The top one is the "Website URL" - the website you are promoting and the one to which you will be sending traffic.  Assuming you are promoting Big Dogs this URL would, of course be YOUR ClickBank hoplink.  From now on this "Website URL" will ALWAYS be the same:  it will ALWAYS be your ClickBank hoplink!

Directly below the Website URL is the all-important "tracking link"  This "Tracking Link" is what you will actually be copying and pasting into the advertising programs when you use them.  Every "Tracking Link" is different (since you will have several different CHIP programs to track), but in the same general form.....

https://trackit.link/mo63

.....the only difference being the four to six character code at the end.

STEP 7:

NOW... let's set up the "Tracking Link" for the
remaining CHIP programs.

For adding additional campaigns, simply refer back to Step 3, above.

Note the following important points....:

1.  The "Campaign Name"---
---is ALWAYS DIFFERENT in every case:  it is the URL (minus the "https://") of a different advertising (CHIP) program.

2.  The "Website URL"---
---(directly below the URL of the advertising - CHIP - program) is ALWAYS THE SAME in every case:  It is YOUR unique ClickBank hoplink, assuming you are promoting the Big Dogs program.

3.  The "Tracking Link"---
---ALL your tracking links are in the same generic form, but differs (ONLY) in the four to six characters at the end.

Step 8:

Now just set up the adtracking links for the remaining CHIP programs.  (Should take you less than a minute for each one!).....


Summary

(Important Side Note:  As you are aware, BuildABizOnline is far, FAR more than merely an adtracking program.  IN ADDITION to its adtracker, BABO also contains:

---an autoresponder!
---an HTML editor!
---not just ONE, but TWO banner builders!
---a URL rotator!
---a logo building tool!
---a splash page builder!
---and many, MANY other useful tools!

Now, although the Big Dogs Home Office DOES provide an in-depth tutorial for BABO's adtracking feature (above), we DO NOT provide tutorial or other assistance for any of the other benefits.  This is because the BABO site itself, provides very well-done video and static tutorials for these additional benefits.)

That's it!  You're done!   Close the BuildABizOnline site and continue on to the next Fast-Track Tutorial.

(Note:  Each of the companies in the CHIP program are independent entities.  As such, the owners of these companies may change the directions on how to use their program at any time.  If you find that the directions on the website deviate from those in this Fast Track Guide, please inform the Big Dogs Home Office at Stan@BigDogSecrets.com so that we may update the Tutorial.)
